My sky Q box keeps locking up, even on record. The tv is less than a year old (Sony Bravia), a tv e
My Sky Qbox is randomly locking up even on record. A professional tv engineer has checked out the tv which is a Sony Bravia less than one year old. It is very frustrating as it locks up giving me a page of icons / tiles that I can not get out of. I have to turn the tv off and on sometimes several times or turn power off to both TV and Sky Q box. Box installed November 2018.

Q box locks up frequently, tv less than a year old and checked professionally, have to re-cycle powe
Q box for ever locking up displaying icons that are fixed, or telling me an upgrade is required. TV less than a year old (Sony Bravia) has been checked out by professional engineer.
Sometimes times you can regain the channel via turning off and on using the remote, if not power to Q box and tv has to be re-cycled at the mains, all beyond me

Q doesn't really use icons that I can recall - what icons are you referring to?
I can't remember it ever saying an uograde is required - unless you mean to your subscription?

@dreamliner787
Try a reboot of the main Sky Q box, then once that’s back up and running do the same with any mini boxes if necessary-
~ Using the remote put your main Sky Q box into standby
~ switch the box off at the plug
~ wait at least 30 seconds and then switch the box back on at the plug
~ follow the on screen instructions
~ when the screen goes blank and the blue Q stops pulsating wait another 30 seconds
~ press the 🏠 button
